An incredible and memorable tour with a fabulous and friendly guide! - From the point of booking our tour to Aburi & Boti Waterfalls the communication from Kweku was excellent. Due to the dry season I was informed that Boti Waterfalls had stopped flowing and we were offered a choice of 2 alternatives. We chose to include Safari Valley in our tour. Kofi our guide arrived at our hotel to collect us ahead of time. He was so friendly and full of information throughout our comfortable journey out of busy Accra towards towards the Eastern Region. We had a separate driver who navigated the traffic really safely whilst Kofi guided and talked us through the main points of attraction as well as providing some local information throughout the trip. We really appreciated his company and good humour. Aburi was beautiful and our guide there was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We tried Palm Wine and made a couple of purchases at the end with Kofi's assistance. Our trip to Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm was peaceful and insightful and Safari Valley was absolutely incredible. The staff all seemed so happy to show us around and share their knowledge with us. The grounds were vast and beautiful and we got up close with quite a few of the animals. The lunch and service throughout was impeccable. Overall, we had one of the best days of our Ghanaian trip and it was well worth the money. We arrived back at our hotel in the early evening both tired and extremely happy. A special thanks to Kofi and to our driver and thanks to Kweku for also calling at the end of the day to make sure our trip had gone well. We hope to see you on our next visit to Ghana.

Great day! - I couldn't do the waterfalls because of the dry season, so I went to La Badi Beach instead. I had a great day, thanks to the kind and reliable tour guide Michael. They were very well organized. I recommend them!

Exceeded my expectations - This tour exceeded my expectations! I was promptly picked up from my hotel and was warmly welcomed by my tour guide Isaac. He was very friendly, attentive and clearly explained every steps of the tour. He even explained some main sights and places we drove by without me asking. I had a very good experience with this tour company I will definitely return to Ghana and I will definitely use this tour company again! Thank you so much Isaac for making my tour a memorable one .

Waterfall me please!!!!!! - This was done on our third day in Ghana. Let me tell you this was our favorite experience of them all. We went to the garden which had us in awe of the land. Our tour guide and driver understood the assignment and made sure each moment and understanding of the land was covered. We learned about the cocoa farms and had great tours for both. The highlight was the waterfall!!! I got all the way in trying to take in the entire experience! They didn’t know it was our 15 year anniversary but they pulled out all the stops on this tour and we got many photos from the experience … the all is not allowing me to upload 🥺 The best best part was our driver! He was super safe and did not run over the million holes and gravel while we were on board. We really appreciated his safety during the day. Must do!!!!

Highly Recommend - Highly recommend! Isaac is a great guide, and I thoroughly enjoyed each of the stops! For me the real stand outs were Umbrella Rock and the Boti Waterfalls, which were easily the most beautiful scenery I saw in Ghana. It's also a very easy day trip, Isaac and our driver picked me up at my hotel in the morning and dropped me off at the end of the day. Top tip would be to have a good breakfast and bring a decent snack for the hike, as there aren't too may opportunities to get food throughout the day. The hike near Boti does require a good bit of climbing up and down rocks, so might not recommend for anyone looking for a leisurely stroll, but I found it very fun and the view is 100% worth it!

Best Experience in Ghana! - This was an excellent experience! Michael was absolutely THE best and a highlight of our entire trip. He was friendly, professional, personable, and had a great sense of humor. (I wish he could've done all of our tours while in Ghana.) The transition between him and the onsite guides was smooth. The onsite guide at Aburi Botanical Gardens taught us a lot and allowed for an interactive experience with some of the plants there. The onsite guide at Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm was also very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about cocoa and how it's farmed and prepared for processing. We were able to try the fruit off of the tree, so that was really cool. The double waterfall at Boti Waterfalls was maybe the best part of our visit to Ghana. I was not physically prepared for the hike, but I'm glad we were able to complete it. You will need good shoes, ankles, and thighs for the hike and then for the walk to the waterfall (These are separate things). Our driver, Kwabena, helped me so much during the hike (much appreciated!!).He was awesome at navigating the roads to/from Boti also. He and Michael were just really good guys and kept our spirits up and kept us laughing as we completed the hike in record time. Definitely ask for breaks when/if you need them. You should also pack lite so you don't have a heavy backpack to take with you. Michael taught us a lot about the Ghanaian culture. We asked questions about almost everything and he was always nice about it. I would definitely recommend this tour group as they were helpful booking an additional tour too. Please remember to tip all of your guides and your driver.

Escape to the countryside - Fantastic itinerary, great transport as well (bumpy roads but brilliant driver and comfy van). Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and took our ages into account in refining the tour, such as the best option for accessing Umbrella Rock. The guides at the sites were informative as well, a great day out from Accra!
